LIND Ltd, a UK energy storage company, specializes in redox flow batteries for homes, offering cost-effective heating and electricity solutions through variable tariffs. Our unique system utilizes a thermally resistant electrolyte, ensuring high performance even in hotter climates. By eliminating the need for energy-consuming cooling mechanisms, our technology maximizes efficiency and returns more energy to the user. In collaboration with PT Mutitron Automa, we support the Lasalimu community in Indonesia by integrating our innovative technology into their 1 MW solar power plant project.

Lasalimu, a farming village on Buton Island with over 15,000 residents, faces limited access to affordable electricity. With a monthly budget of 50 Indonesian Rupees (£0.003), households rely on 1.3 kVA of electricity from the state-owned energy provider, PLN (small compared to the UK average is 18.4 kVA). To address this issue, installing a solar power plant was approved to enhance energy reliability, reduce costs, foster industrial growth, and decrease dependence on carbon-emitting diesel generators.
